The Nice House by the Sea #10

(W) James Tynion IV (A) Álvaro Martínez Bueno

It’s been years since Walter and Oliver said a single word to each other… and it’s taken the literal end of the world to put them face-to-face again. Now the fate of the entire human race depends on these two being able to put aside the hurt they caused each other — but are either of them capable of it? And can they do so fast enough to stop the body count from rising?

Hallucinogenic horror Odin #1 has Sold Out and Gets a Second Printing

From the shadow-drenched halls of horror arrives Odin, the bone-chilling new series from Image Comics and Tiny Onion that is forged by a pantheon of comic book titans: five-time Eisner Award winning writer James Tynion IV, battle-savvy co-writer Marguerite Bennett, thunderously talented artist Letizia Cadonici, multiple Eisner Award winning color enchantress Jordie Bellaire, cunning letterer Tom Napolitano, design warrior Dylan Todd, and fire-eyed editor Steve Foxe. Together the creative team has invoked a series launch so savage it has spread across the readers of Midgard like Ragnarök fire and sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics has summoned a rapid reprint this week to stave off the wave of reorders rolling in at the gate. 

Odin follows Adela, a thrill-seeking journalist who goes undercover to report on a band of Neo Nazis. She will do anything for the perfect story, including heading into the frozen forests of Norway with Neo Nazi punks who seek Odin to achieve their promised white supremacist destiny. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless hallucinogenic thriller that leaves absolutely no taboo unbroken.

Odin #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0426IM8457) will be available at comic book stores on Wednesday, June 24.

Tiny Onion’s Exquisite Corpses: The Game Comes to Kickstarter

Tiny Onion has launched a Kickstarter campaign​ for Exquisite Corpses: The Game, a companion tabletop card game tied to the bestselling comic book series co-created by five-time Eisner Award-winning writer and CEO James Tynion IV and Eisner Award-winning artist Michael Walsh. Fans can now choose from various editions of the party game and additional rewards on the Kickstarter page, with limited time discounts for early bird backers.

Exquisite Corpses: The Game is a casual tabletop game perfect for fans of trading card classics like Magic: The Gathering and party experiences like Ultimate Werewolf. Needing only a deck of cards and some dice, a group of 4-12 players each pick their favorite killer and proceed to attack, bluff, and barter with their fellow killers until just one remains. No two games are alike, so players can immediately play again and again and get different results.

Since the project’s inception in February 2024, Tiny Onion have been designing and playtesting Exquisite Corpses: The Game alongside the comics’ creation. In addition to the standard Civilian Edition, Tiny Onion is producing two deluxe versions of the game: the elevated Killer Cache Edition, and the elite Thirteen Families Edition.

The Civilian Edition includes 12 killer cards, 24 event cards, 6 different status effect cards, and the instruction booklet. The deluxe Killer Cache Edition includes a special Killer Cache box with magnetic clasp, a Kickstarter exclusive reprint of Exquisite Corpses #1 with cover art by Ian Bertram, 12 oversized killer cards with new art, 24 event cards, premium wood status effect tokens, 13 pink resin dice in velvet bag, a pink and orange playmat, and a special Killer Cache edition exclusive event card. The top-tier Thirteen Families Edition includes a Thirteen Families box with a magnetic clasp, a Kickstarter exclusive reprint of Exquisite Corpses #1 with a gold foil cover, 12 oversized killer cards with new art in foil, 24 event cards, premium metal status effect tokens, 13 gold resin dice in velvet bag, a black and gold playmat, and a special Thirteen Families edition exclusive event card. 

Aside from these editions, fans can also get even rarer rewards, including an option to get drawn into Season 2 of the comic book series, original card art by Michael Walsh, and the ultimate Historic Deck, featuring 10 original prototype cards from the first Exquisite Corpses summit, a private Zoom game with Walsh, Tynion, and the Corpse Crew, and all three editions. Retailers can also purchase packs of 25 copies and 100 copies. Fans can also get select add-ons to their orders, including blank sketch versions of the cards. 

In the hit comic book series, the wealthiest families in America play a game every five years on Halloween. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. They call the game “Exquisite Corpses.”

The Kickstarter campaign will end on June 15th at 12pm ET and the game products are due to be shipped to backers between April 1, 2027 through June 30, 2027.

Early Review: The City Beneath Her Feet #3 Delivers a Reflective and Explosive Finale

The City Beneath Her Feet #3

Behind every love story is a tragedy- and this tale is no different… Chased into the city’s underbelly with Liz hot on her trail- Zara must use everything she’s learned about the secret world of assassins to find a way to survive — and bring Jasper’s killers to justice. The City Beneath Her Feet #3 wraps up the series with a finale that takes readers in unexpected directions.

It’s been a bit since the previous issue of The City Beneath Her Feet, but when provided the chance to check out a copy before release, I jumped at the chance to see how Zara’s story ends. The series as a whole is an intriguing one, a story at its surface level is one of assassins, action, and mistakes, but underneath, it’s one about relationships and how we handle even the worst of them.

Written by James Tynion IV, The City Beneath Her Feet #3 wraps up the series with a nice finale that’s a little melancholy but also packed with action, humor, and reflection. The action continues as an assassin is on Zara’s tail with a large bounty out for the writer who might know too much. But in-between those sequences we get a reflection by Zara on her brief relationship with Zara. As short, as strange, as toxic, as it was, there was a truth and honest Zara was able to see and final actions by Jasper show what she might have really felt towards Zara. It’s an interesting ending that is full of emotion… mixed emotions, that readers will take away differently based on their own relationship history.

The art by Elsa Charretier continues to be fantastic bouncing between the action and what feels like a confessional. The visuals pop in part due to the colors by Jordie Bellaire which deliver a pop-art look to the comic and Aditya Bidikar‘s lettering helps add to the rollercoaster of a ride. The art is intriguing as it’s one that very much feels like it’s a bit of a throwback to pop-art of the past and also has a lot of small details that really help tell the story of the characters themselves. Scars, some blood, a little bit of dirt, it all comes together to visually bring the world and narrative together.

The City Beneath Her Feet #3 is an interesting finale that feels like it’s an indie action film on the comic page. There’s something unexpected and really satisfying in the way it wraps up and leaves us wanting a bit more of this world to see how all of the loose ends are wrapped up. We had to wait a bit to finally be able to experience it, but it was well worth it as The City Beneath Her Feet #3 delivers an ending that’ll leave readers satisfied but still wanting more.

W0RLDTR33 Book One Explores the Darkest Corners of the Undernet this September

The first three story arcs of the taboo-shattering techno-horror series by Multiple Eisner Award winning writer James Tynion IV and superstar artist Fernando Blanco, with colors by Jordie Bellaire and letters by Aditya Bidikar, will be collected for the first time into a deluxe hardcover format. The W0RLDTR33 Book One deluxe hardcover will collect issues #1-16—as well as a cover gallery and initial design material—and will hit shelves in September from Image Comics.

A dark techno-thriller about hackers who discover a hidden layer of the internet that can reshape reality and is rapidly learning how to control it. In 1999, Gabriel and his friends discovered the Undernet: a secret architecture to the internet. They charted their exploration on a message board called W0RLDTR33. Then they lost control.

Someone broke into W0RLDTR33… someone who welcomed the violent hold the Undernet had on them. At great personal cost, Gabriel and the others thought they sealed the Undernet away for good. They were wrong. And now the whole world will know the meaning of PH34R.

Since its launch in 2023, W0RLDTR33 has gone through multiple sell-outs and reprints and garnered massive critical acclaim.

W0RLDTR33 Book One deluxe hardcover (ISBN: 9781534333307, Lunar Code 0326IM0435) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, September 2 and independent bookstores, BookshopAmazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, September 29.

W0RLDTR33 Book One

Odin invites readers into a Dark World by James Tynion IV, Marguerite Bennett, and Letizia Cadonici. Get an early look!

An advance preview of Odin invites readers to step into the dark world of the original limited series co-created by five-time Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV, bestselling writer Marguerite Bennett, and fan-favorite artist Letizia Cadonici. The nine-issue series, produced by Tynion’s production house Tiny Onion and published by Image Comics, follows an undercover journalist reporting on a group of deluded Neo-Nazis foolishly seeking glory and instead facing the wrath of Norse gods. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless, no-holds-barred horror story.

The new preview, sharing the beginning of Odin #1, starts with a visual punch: Odin disemboweled and disfigured, hangs from a tree, being pecked by a group of crows. The next pages offer a glimpse into the journey of journalist Adela, showing her infiltration of a Neo-Nazi punk band who are following a skin map to what they believe to be their promised land where they can rise to full white supremacist power. The series will follow in the frozen footsteps of thrill-seeking Adela as she ventures into the Norwegian forest with the Neo Nazi punks. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers. 

Debuting this May, Odin features hallucinogenic colors by Eisner Award winner Jordie Bellaire and sharp letters by the acclaimed Tom Napolitano. The series is cleverly designed by Dylan Todd and edited by horror pros Steve Foxe and Eric Harburn.

Odin will have gorgeous main covers by celebrated comic and album artist Alex Eckman-Lawn, who is illustrating Cover A for the full series. The series will also spotlight variants by series artist Cadonici and all-star artists like Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, Jae Lee, Annie Wu, Tula Lotay, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Wes Craig, and more. 

Odin #1 will be available at comic book stores on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026
